I am thrilled this month to have two guests on the podcast talking about making sustainability changes in business. I am thrilled because they use a term we in business are well-versed in: Change Management. In the pristine world of business literature, change management appears as a sleek, orderly process with neat flowcharts and predictable […]
Have you ever had one of those days where you stop, gobsmacked by something or someone? By something so simple that you say to yourself, OMG, why didn’t I think of that? Years ago, I did, and frankly, it changed my life. I can’t remember all the circumstances surrounding it. Still, I remember someone on […]
Have you ever bought an exotic, expensive plant or tree for your garden and watched it fail to grow into its advertised and expected glory? Hubby and I bought a very costly tree for our backyard a few years ago, and this year, it failed to leaf out. Apparently, there were a few things we […]
It was during that course that I learned a fantastic technique for forgiveness. Forgiveness is an underrated characteristic we humans could learn to cultivate much more.

What’s your excuse for being forgetful? (C’mon! We ALL have those moments!) Here’s mine — “OMG, my poor brain. There is so much knowledge and wisdom crammed in there, that I can no longer keep everything in it. In order to make room for a new piece of knowledge, I have to let go […]

I have a confession today. I am OBSESSED with the cleanliness of bathrooms. Everywhere. It probably started when I was a little girl, and my mother told me always to wear a clean pair of underpants.
